Marked meat as vegan

I’m normally a big fan of Pho and their food but a meat eating friend and I ordered delivery from there. Both curries were labelled vegan when we got them but one of them was vegan chicken and the other was definitely real meat. Wouldn’t go back to this branch!

Wish they had a vegan Vietnamese Coffee

Love the vegan options but would love to see diversity in their drinks and coffees eg decaf and with vegan condensed milk, would be ace!

Pros: Super affordable , Vegan pho broth- not easy to find, Convenient location

Cons: Limited vegan menu

Pho

Pho is a great option when you're looking for a vegan clear broth noodle soup and don't have time to go through all the mom-and-pop listings to find something a bit more authentic (and vegan). What's nice about Pho is they offer at least two vegan broths, one is closer to normal pho broth and the other is a spicy broth (but tends to be very limey). I've honestly been a bit underwhelmed by both broths at multiple Pho locations, but you can always add loads of sriracha and other toppings to your tasting. I love their tofu, which is very porous and holds a good volume of broth inside. The pho soup is made with the very thin pho noodles (not my favorite) and the spicy soup is made with the thick/round noodles, like spaghetti noodles (I love this noodle option).

My overall verdict is, this is great if you're in a pinch or need to find a place that will satisfy vegans and non-vegans alike, as there are Pho locations everywhere and this is quite convenient. However, I'm more inclined to choose a local mom-and-pop if it's an option. Moreover, I've found the execution to be inconsistent across Pho locations.

Overall Rating: 3-3.5

Absolutely delicious

Loved this place - the food was so fresh and flavoursome. Lots of vegan items, really tasty and all clearly marked. Staff super friendly and helpful. Nice ambience. The tofu is seriously good and the spring rolls are to die for.

Lunch deal was £11 for a started and main - so much food we took some home for later. Definitely recommend!

Heaps of vegan options

Ended up coming here after about 3 places listed on Happy Cow as being open on a Monday were closed. Really glad we did as it was delicious. There were heaps of vegan options!

Hi ashieb, hope you will update any places which have wrong hours, but guessing those 3 may have just been due the holidays?

Great Vegan menu

I’ve eaten here countless times with my other half & we always leave full & happy. Ask the staff to point out the vegan options, there are quite a few! Great food, well priced, nice ambience.

Vietnamese Vegan

It's good. I've been to the Wimbledon branch a few times and this is the same menu. All of the vegetarian things on the menu are vegan and the waitress understood the difference.

It's a new place (early 2018) was nice inside. Good to have Asian food options for vegans.

Pros: Good vegan options, Nice interior and a good atmosphere
